OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Aluminum Welding

Every welder knows the frustration of a bird-nest. You're in the middle of a long bead on an aluminum project, and suddenly the wire stops feeding, tangling up at the drive rolls. The ESAB Yellow PTFE Liner is your best defense against this common headache. Designed specifically for soft wires like aluminum and stainless steel, this liner replaces the standard steel coil in your MIG gun to provide a slick, friction-free path for your filler metal.

Why use PTFE? Because aluminum wire is soft and easily deformed. If you try to push it through a steel liner, the friction can cause the wire to drag, buckle, and jam. This ESAB liner uses a high-quality Teflon material that lets the wire slide through smoothly, ensuring a stable arc and consistent deposition. The yellow color coding makes it easy to identify in your toolbox or on the rack, so you always grab the right liner for the job.

Installation is straightforward and can make an immediate difference in your weld quality. By reducing drag, you not only prevent jams but also reduce the strain on your wire feeder motor. Whether you are fabricating aluminum boat hulls, repairing stainless steel tanks, or working on custom automotive parts, trusting your feed to a genuine ESAB PTFE liner ensures that you spend more time welding and less time clearing jams. Keep your torch running at peak performance with this essential consumable.

FAQ

This liner is made of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), often referred to as Teflon, which provides a low-friction surface.

While physically possible, it is not recommended. Steel wire is abrasive and will wear out a PTFE liner much faster than a steel liner. Steel liners are preferred for steel wire.

The yellow color is a standard industry code used to indicate the specific wire diameter range the liner is designed to handle.

Using a steel liner for aluminum often results in wire shaving, increased friction, and bird-nesting (tangling) at the drive rolls because aluminum is too soft to push against the steel coils.

Remove the old liner, unroll the new PTFE liner, slide it into the gun cable until seated, and trim any excess length at the front end according to your gun's manual.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB product designed for compatibility with ESAB welding systems.

Specific inclusion of collets or O-rings depends on the specific batch, but generally, PTFE liners may require a neck liner or specific termination depending on the torch model.

It is best suited for Aluminum and Stainless Steel wires.
